Your SAK Correspondent was bummed about missing The Dirty Projectors on Friday, but was lifted out of his funk sooner than expected during a Silent Barn performance by Baltimore’s Future Islands. He had no idea who they were as he wandered in at the start of their set, but was completely wowed over by the way the group’s sincere/theatrical vocals are layered atop a high-pitched, chugging electronic assault (and it’s not often that he’ll listen to an entire album immediately upon arriving at home around 4 a.m., then replay certain tracks before going to bed).

They’re at it again this weekend with bookings at the TreeFort and Union Pool on, respectively, Saturday and Sunday.
